It’s Japan versus Italy in the opening game of the tournament, and tensions are running high. Team Japan’s tempers are flared over Italy’s previous comments about how they weren’t worth their time back before the practice match that never was. Still, having been handed the position of captain from Matsuyama, Tsubasa rises to the occasion. Italy may have Tsubasa marked, but he responds with some characteristic fighting spirit.
Oh, the second he trapped the ball,
he's tackled from behind.
Ah, genau da kommt das Foul von hinten.
Recibe un golpe por detrás
en cuanto para el balón.
Recibe un golpe por detrás
en cuanto para el balón.
Ah ! Un tacle par-derrière
juste au moment du contrôle !
Ah! Subisce un intervento
nel momento in cui stoppa la palla!
Ah, e assim que domina a bola,
Tsubasa é empurrado por trás.
Перед самым ударом
Цубасу толкают сзади!
